What justification is there for this? He put it up to full, after President Carter died. Disgusting!

Edit to add: I know it’s for Kirk, but why??!!

He made a teleprompter speech from the oval office that didn’t take long to go “off the rails” blaming the “radical left” for this nation’s violence.

But in many local governments they will fly the flags at half staff for 9/11 remembrance.
